Mac OS X thinks Dreamweaver is a PowerPC program

I have a new Retina Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
I bought Adobe Creative Suite 6 Teacher and Student Edition in July 2012 and installed it on the Macbook, but now when I try to launch Dreamweaver I get the error message:
"You can't open the application "Adobe Dreamweaver CS6" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
Obviously Dreamweaver CS6 is not a PowerPC application! I have searched for help on the Adobe and Apple websites, as well as on the web generally and I can find no solution to this problem.
Please can anybody help?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply!
It's not the first time I've run it, but it is the first time since I had to reinstall the OS  (a Mountain Lion update caused the laptop to freeze continuously and Apple Support advised me to reinstall completely).
I will definitely try your suggestion - I've used CS Cleaner before and it solved an installation problem for me so that sounds promising. I can't reinstall for a week unfortunately as we are currently in Thailand so I don't have the DVD with me!
Once again, thanks for answering my question!

    i have a mac and am thinking about upgrading from snowlepard to lion , is it a good idea and hard to adapt to

    This is my "About This Mac" ... it shows I have Intel i7 CPU.  If you are running SL, you at least have Intel, but would need at least Core2Duo an 2 GB (most people suggest 4 GB) RAM.
    If you want to run Lion, remember that the discussions in this forum from last summer when Lion first came out (and since) were highly charged at times.  Certain features that vanished or were added caused great heartache for some.  Others love Lion, though.  And some live with the changes waiting for any fixes they would desire.
    Any PPC (PowerPC) applications you depend upon will not work under Lion.  Use this page to see what applications will not run:  http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    AND
    Recall that you can clone your SL to an external disk to keep it safe.  Then you can "experiment with" the new OSX (Lion or ML) until you know it works for you while still having your old SL safe in case you need it.
    Good luck.

  • I'm using Time Machine and a LaCie external drive to backup. I also have a 8 GB LaCie flash drive I want to use for small jobs. If I plug the LaCie flash drive in, is my Mac going to think it is the LaCie external drive and start trying to backup?

    Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck  and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck  Check out this article.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you haven't done so already you need to migrate your mail account to iCloud first and do so IMMEDIATELY at the website Move
    Then
    Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

    Hello,
    You can't upgrade to any faster, & especially not to an Intel CPU needed to run Lion/10.7 for full iCloud usage.
    You can have limited use of iCloud the way it is, you can view all of iCloud in a Browser, You can use Find my Phone I hear, & you can use IMAP Mail for syncing, but no other syncing.

    You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send.

    "Gift Card" is sometimes called a tacky gift, but if it allows the other person to get whatever they want it works.
    Besides, anything purchased through App Store is usually "All Sales Final", so I think iTunes card is a good idea.

    A PowerPC G4 or G5 can't be upgraded past 10.5.8. If you're trying to install an application and not a newer Mac OS X version, check its system requirements and use the original disk or download.
